cranking in Thailand

yes. at last. man, is anything in life as painful as a slow internet connection? waterboarding, you say? 5 years in a cage at Guantanamo? watching all of Lance’s 7 – yes SEVEN – Tour non-victories all over again stage by stage?

pish posh. could do those with my eyes closed. well, apart from the last one. still, i do like a good 21-week long comedy from time to time…

so your neighborhood friendly crankpunk finds himself in Thailand, Bangkok of all places, awaiting tomorrow’s 7km ITT that will start the Tour of Friendship, a 5 stage stage race that is (excuse me whilst i just look over my shoulder and whisper in your ear, and yes, i have been eating garlic) a non-UCI sanctioned race!

so yes, i am breaking the law! just like that night at the funeral parlor. and the ostrich sanctuary.

anyway, feels good to be back in the fray, lots of friends here i haven’t seen in a while. i shall endeavor to keep posting daily reports but with the net connection so will-o-the wisp like, that may be difficult.

what is also nice is that finally i am racing again and not commenting on dopers.
